Publishers Description'It's just not working. Our lives are full, but our marriage is empty.'Statements like this are becoming increasingly common among Christian couples today. Studies have shown that the rate of divorce is the same for both Christians and non-Christians, proving that often the Christian life makes little or no difference in martial satisfaction and longevity. Many Christian couples share a love for God but spend little time growing the love He has given them for each other. Making a Marriage addresses the issues faced by new as well as mature couples from a biblical point of view and offers the foundational principles that help build a strong and lasting relationship. Written by educators and licensed counselors, this valuable resource educates couples on the essentials of marriage so they can honor their lifelong vows, improve their relationships with their spouses, and counter our culture's destructive influences.

This is a short book (seven chapters) but it is chock-full of useful help for married couples. I found each chapter helpful, but I especially enjoyed two of the chapters: one about commitment (Dr. David & Lisa Frisbie) and the chapter about intimacy (Dr. Jim & Jeanette Pettitt). If you've read other books by these authors you'll know how clear, readable and useful these writers are. I wish there was more (length) here, but every word here is helpful and good.
